I Fell in love today!!! CZ-75

[jayhawk]

I have an 85 Combat on back order...hoping my wait isn't too long.

I have to wonder what Jeff Cooper would say about the new Detonics pistol. Its got the grip of the CZ 75 but the SA operation of a 1911.

Well, considering he was one of the main forces behind the Bren 10, which was based on the CZ-75, I would think he would think positively of it.

It would be the single action that he would be in favor of.

Love the platform and its ergos. I bought my full-sized 9x19 EAA Witness copy before "real" CZ's were being imported. In nearly 8.5 K rounds of assorted ammo it's run flawlessly, always hit where I pointed it and groups better than I can generally hold it for either rested or standing on my own two feet. The only reason I haven't bought a genuine 75B to go with it is because I happened to handle a CZ 97B in .45 ACP when I went looking for one and ended up buying it instead.

I tried one of my friends' Phantoms. Had to have one. Hard to find but got a new one and fell in love with it. So did my wife. Now I have 2 Phantoms.

Great gun!

Ran into MrSmitty today at Falls City Firearms. I'd already pretty much made up my mind, and traded the XDm for the CZ 75b w/ rubber grips shortly after holding it. Felt absolutely at home in my hands. Can't wait to pick it up Friday and weather-permitting head out to Henryville to test it out. Big thanks to Rick for making this happen.

As a side note, I checked out some other CZs and similiar at Orion (P07 full size and compact, EAAs) and while nice, just weren't the same as the 75b for me. Made up my mind, and sticking to my guns.
Until I get my next one in .40sw. And the EAA in 10mm. And probably a Jericho or two.

Also, +1 to MrSmitty for teaching his child excellent gun safety in the store, even if it was with a plastic revolver.

Here's a pic of mine to help you wait.

Thanks Finnegan, nice to have met you! My son even corrects me at the range (as he should!) If I hand him a rifle without putting on the safety...he let's me know!

 

[Mackey]

Went to Henryville with my step-dad, and was shooting at the same table, with some nice young fellows and one had a CZ-75, now I've admired them from afar, but today, the guy asked if I wanted to shoot it.......duh! I told him I'd even shoot my own ammo....Ok it was everything I've ever heard, and more!! Sweet sweet sweet! And now the bucket list is bigger!!!

I don't care what some may say ... I love that range. More than once got to "coonfinger" someone else's gun (in a safe and professional way of course).

Thanks for sharing.

The only problem seems to be finding them. I much prefer to do business with a LGS and not order online. However, it is nearly impossible to find a CZ 75b in an LGS. Frustrating to say the least.

I know it would be a drive but Midwest Gun Exchange in Mishawaka usually has them in 9 and .40, several different models and finishes.

Mmm...luckily I found a dealer that had a few duo tone models in stock.

Good deal...that's going to be a sharp looking pistol.

I have a CZ 75 P-01 I use for Spring, Summer, Fall carry and an SP-01 I carry in the winter (easier to conceal). My P-01 I added crimson trace grips to, both have night sights, and both have been sent to CZcustom shop to have the competition hammer installed. Neither of of them have ever had a single malfunction and they are the two guns in my collection that I will never get rid of

Since we're sharing pics. Here's my CZ 75 SP01 Shadow with cocobola grips. I love this gun, always shoots true. I have a guy at my shop who wants a 1911, or at least he did until he tried the Shadow. Now he wants a stock SP01 and wants to customize it himself.

CZ's are great gun's.

Here's my CZ 75 Compact

And my CZ 85 Combat

Both are excellent guns.

I hope CZ continues there giant American campaign, i love the style they put in there guns. They have a classic yet modern feel to them.

[FONT=&quot]Great thread. My first love in a center fire handgun was the CZ75. That was based on reviews, its good looks, and price. I went to my first Indy 1500 gun show in 2004 with the plan to buy one. When I got to hold one, it actually hurt my hand. As I recall, my thumb joint rubbed against the beavertail in a bad way. What a disappointment that was. I ended up getting a Taurus 92, which I've been very happy with. All the positive comments in this thread about the CZ, including how well it fits their hand, makes me want to try holding one again.[/FONT]

After reading this thread I guess I gotta update my list.

 

[kwatters]

I have the IMI Baby eagle which is a CZ clone. Love it, just a heavy gun.

 

[Birds Away]

It is definitely NEXT on my list. Assuming I don't get distracted.
